Tapong Agricultural Fruit Central Market is located in Mueang District, Rayong. It is the largest and most important fruit trading hub of the province, gathering fresh produce delivered directly from local orchards. Signature fruits include rambutan, mangosteen, durian, and longkong—specialties of Thailand’s Eastern region. The market is especially lively during the fruit season from May to July each year.
 
Inside the market, both retail and wholesale zones operate daily. Growers from nearby areas bring in their harvests to sell straight to customers, ensuring fresh fruit at fair prices. The market also functions as a key agricultural distribution center for Rayong and its neighboring provinces.
 
The market area is surrounded by numerous orchards. Many of them welcome visitors to stroll through the groves and taste fruit right off the trees, such as Suphattra Land and Suan Lung Thong Bai. These orchards are popular agrotourism spots where travelers can experience local farming life, sample seasonal fruit, and learn about cultivation up close.
 
Getting There The Tapong Agricultural Fruit Central Market sits on Sukhumvit Road (Rayong – Chanthaburi route), about 10 kilometers from downtown Rayong. By car, follow Highway No. 3 toward Klaeng; the market will be on the left. Public transport is also convenient via local songthaews on the Rayong – Klaeng line, which pass right in front of the market.
 
Nearby Attractions Around the market, several agrotourism spots are worth a quick hop: Suphattra Land, where visitors can tour the orchard and enjoy fruit tastings (about 5 kilometers away), and Suan Lung Thong Bai, another well-known orchard with seasonal fruit buffets (around 8 kilometers away). You can also extend the trip to Hat Mae Ramphueng beach, roughly 12 kilometers from the market, for a same-day sea breeze escape in Rayong.
